If someone gets their knickers in a twist over me, I assume I'm supporting a personal hobby and expect them to at least buy me lunch for the privilege.

I had a dream I wrote an amazing color ascii multi-player rpg/roguelike with both pre-designed and random map sections jigsawed together with clever boundary conditions fitting. Huge depth, lore, a vast world in which to wander and get lost. The ability to meet and travel with other players.

This is a fantastic thread and I’d like to note something about it, going back to my earlier thread—
